vk_nokey not working? help

[izark]

HI.
If I alt+tab the game and it is minimized, when I open it again, some code that is triggered by
keyboard_check(vk_nokey) doesn´t work. however, if I press ctrl + alt, the code starts working again.
How can I solve this? is there a way to 'reset' the keyboard. Thank you!

There is: io_clear and keyboard_clear (which is better).

EDIT: ninja'd

EDIT:
Also, your problem might be that the game receives the releases of the buttons when it is minimized, but GameMaker might ignore them then, thinking the keys are still pressed.

I think you can reset the keyboard using io_clear()
Just call it and it will reset the keyboard:

io_clear();

Thank you, it seems to work now.

I am clearing those keys then, thank you.
